The political battle over North Sea oil drilling

Available for 27 days

Ben Wright's guests are the Labour peer Shami Chakrabarti, Conservative frontbencher Jesse Norman and Alex Wilson - who represents Reform UK on the Greater London Assembly. They discuss the impact of the Middle East war on the cost of living and whether drilling for more North Sea oil and gas would help ease economic pressures. They also look ahead to the May elections for local councils in England, the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Senedd. And they consider whether Prime Minister's Questions serves a worthwhile purpose.
